“We witnessed two different halves. The consecutive early goals conceded decided the fate of the match. The four goals conceded in the first half ended everything. We also let in a fifth goal towards the end of the game. The opponent has quality players in their squad. They have strengthened significantly. We knew they would be a tough opponent. The consecutive goals conceded broke the team.”

These words were spoken by Zaur Ismayilov, head coach of Araz-Nakhchivan, after the final match of the second round of the Misli Premier League, according to Offsideplus.az.

“This season, our target is also the European cups.”

On transfers and gaps in the squad:

“We have completed our transfers. The team has not been able to fully gel. There were unnecessary ball losses. The team is not fully formed yet.”

On Patrick Andrade:

“He has experience. We have great confidence in him.”
